    Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I have some questions. Can I use more than one pair of guard rollers? My gate will be little bit more than 6m and I am thing of using couple pairs of guard rollers for added security. Can you recommend some gate motors? Thanks
  • Explained very well! Just one question, does the track on the ground create a puddle of water after rain?

    What a great video for anyone to understand what might at first seem complex. We have a sliding gate which was comes off its track regularly. The installer say it’s because the steel frame on one side is exposed to sun and expands more than the other side creating warping in the 8 meter wide frame. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
  • How does a automatic sliding door with this motor will be locked. As in, In an event a sliding gate without a motor can be manually pushed and entered.. So even if the motor is fixed if we are gone will this gate be able to manually open

    How to increase the gate's height if the roller bearing is welded instead of fastened? I am facing a problem the gate is getting too low to get in contact with the motor. Anyway to overcome this? Layer up the track? Height adjust gear rack?
  • Good video , but do you have any videos or suggestions on how to make a slider burglar proof.how to stop gate being lifted etc off the track etc
